I can tell you one thing: it gets much easier later because when you're older you'll think less about what other people think about you and more about what you think about other people. The other side of the coin is that you'll become much more picky about who you would consider an interesting person. Another great divider that I've observed is that there are two kinds of people: emotional and analytic. The trick is to know (at least at the time) which one you are and which one the other person is, as they don't mix very well. Between an emotional and an analytic personality there's very little to talk about really because the world looks so different when seen mostly through emotions versus mostly through analytic cognition. For example, if we have even an excuse for a common interest I hit it off easily with the same kind of a person yet despite the fact that I do have some social skills it's a fucking deadend with the other kind of a person. There's just nothing to share and nothing to tell that resonates at all with the other. Not even the weather actually.
